Urls generated by javascript and/or Flash aren't visible to
search engines, so any page that relies on client-side generation,
that does not ALSO print those links in some additional
search-engine-friendly way, is making a big SEO mistake.
That's been common message here in this group.
So, the questions:
If you do (for what ever reason) use javascript to generate
clickable URLs on a page, what is the best way to
make those links visible to search engines?
Is it satisfactory to put the comprehensive link list inside a
noscript block?
<noscript>
<a href="this.that.the.other.com/abc.html"> abc <a/>
</noscript>
Does that solve the SEO javascript-generated link problem?
Is that the best way? Or is there a better way?
Finally....developers do this because they like the dropdown
link menus they can instantiate with cut-and-paste javacript.
Finally:
But (more or less) the same dropdown menus can also
be created with server-side dynamic css techniques.
Are sometimes hidden, sometimes visible dropdown links
(made with css) visible to search engines?
